WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 16s--Thel
credentials of Senator-elect Turpie OF,
Indiana were presented to-day. and on
motion referred to the committee on
privileges and elections. The only un-
usual thing connected with the very
common procedure of presenting and
referring credentials was the indOrse-
ment upon the document by the Re-
publican Senate clerk Of this legend,
- A paper purporting to be the ereden-
tials of David Turpie.n Persons are very
scarce who believe that this paper will
not transpire to be what it purports to
be and that Mr.. Turpie viii not take
his seat. There is
ONE PHASE OF THIS QUESTION
that has not yet been canvassed in the
press, and in which the Democrats
have even an additional point of van
tage. Consider how the Senate will
stand as it is called to order the first
Monday of next December. The Sena-
tors holding over will constitute the or
ganization when the gayel falls. There
will be twenty-five Democrats in the
chamber and twenty-fbur Republicans,
and one uncertain quantity-Mr. Rid
dleberger. Ifthere be any endeavor to
discriminate between the credentials
of Republican and Democratic Eena-
tors-elect, the Democrats hold-overs
WILL CONTROL THE sENATE'S ACTION.
For instance: If, after the Senate is
called to order by the Secretary of the
Senate or the President pr0 tem., who
cannot be Mr.. Sherman, Republican
Senator moves that Mr.. Sherlnan, Mr..
Edmnnds, Mr.. Davis aud other Sena-
tors-elect be sworn In, Democratic
Senator can object unless Mr.. Turpie be
also sworn in at the same time. The
Republicans could do no more than tie
the vote affirmatively, and without the
vicillating Virginian could not even
do that. Hence the Democracy can
COMPEL FAIR PLAY
or they can hold the fort. This out
/ line, of course, has nothing to do with
the outcome of the elections in West
Virginia or New Jersey. The Florida
election for Jones' successof occurs in
April. He will be Governor Perry.
Mr.. Cheney, of New Hampshire was
appointed to fill the vacancy made by
Senator Pixies death, and he holds unit
June when the Legislature elects 6
successor. Hence the ahhxe state
ments are precisely correct after June

The South and President Cleveland.
TSayannah News.l


1t is safe to say that there is no one
In the South capable ofspeaking intelli-
gcatly for the South at this time rela-
tive to Mr.. Cleveland's denomination.
Ii there is anyone who has an opinion
as to how the South will stand with re-
spect to Mr.. Cleveland in 1883 he must
have formed it from what he has seen
in the newspapers of the Southern
States How do the newspapers speak
of Mr.. Cleveland now? Why, in the
NOSE kindly way. There is one promi-
nenG New Orleans newspaper that is a
sorehead because it was not permitted
to dictate the Louisiana appointments,
but is not openly hostile to Mr.. Cleve-
land. a
AS matter of fact if the nominating
convention were to meet next month 1t
is probable that Mr.. Cleveland would
get the vote of every Southern State.
How the South will stand when the
convention meets it is not possible for
anyone to say at present. The indica-
tions are, however, that every Southern
delegation will be for him on account
of his availability if for no other reason.

Business Booming.

No matter if people will per-
sist in saying it is a dull season,
it's patent to all that we are do
inc a rushing business. 1t isl
very plain that our efforts to
please the people in goods and
prices are appreciated, as the
numerous visits to our large
store will testify.
The general public read our
advertisements, think over them,
and can see that they are not
only safe in buying of the "Lit-
tie Dutchman," but that they
are getting the best, newest and
purest goods in the market at
prices that surprise all. VS.
1t has always been the aim
Of J. G.. Saur to save money for
his customers. This you should
not forget, and also remember
thatwhen he does you up a pre-
scription he uses nothing but
strictly pure goods. His drugs
and chemicals are pure and
fresh, and he sells them cheap
er than any other house in this
section of Ohio, at retail or
wholesale. If you want good
results from medicine, it will
surely follow by getting your
medicines of the "Little Dutch
man. at whose store you will
find every known remedy for
every known disease. He will
not sell any articles but what
he knows to be pure and fresh.
And, as this is the season of the
year when you are probably
thinking Of repapering and re.
painting your house, we ask
your careful attention to Saur's
stock of Wall and Window Pa
pers. He is still and always has
been the "Wall Paper King"
and this season especially he
has outdone himself in selecting
STYLES and patterns that will
please all. Prices on these
goods are so low that the poor.
est man Of a family can afford
to make his home comfortable
and attractive. There is moth
ing that adds more to a home
than a neat pattern OF paper or

Bear i'm mind that Saur car
ries the largest stock OF Wal
Paper in this section of country
He buys direct from the manu-
facturers in large quantities
and always gives his customer
the benefit Of this, as it enable
him to sell at cheaper price

Death of James Patterson, o Former Can
tonian, at Oakland, Cal.
James Patterson died on the I'd inst.
at Oakland, California, in the S5th year
of his age.
Deceased had been making his home
for some years with his son-in-law and
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Brewer. Prior
to that he had lived for many years in
Chicago.
Mrs. Polly McCurdy, of Canton, a
sister, preceded him about three years
ago; and Mrs. Sally Myers, two miles
north of Canton, also sister, survives
him, and Mrs. Catharine Maxey, resid-
ing on South Young street, is half
sister, Mrs. Hartman, of Chicago, full
sister, also survives him.
Deceased passed part of his boy
hood and youth in Canton; and some
thirty-ive years ago lived few years
here again, removing thence to Illinois.
He was in the mercantile and wheat
business for years at Clinton, Summit
county. Sometime after locating in
Illinois he went to Pixies Peak and
engaged in mining with success, not
however, removing his family there.
Two daughters and two sons survive
him. Mr.. Patterson is well remem,
bered by old residents of Canton. In a
letter to a relative here not long since,
he spoke of soon visiting Canton and
seeing the old town and old friends.

That Presentation Speech.

We print in full today the presenta-
ton speech of Prosecutor Welty at the
Infrmary on Monday, in presenting
ex-Commissioner Schmachtenberger
with a handsome gold headed cane.
Following is the speech:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:-This i'm
promptu gathering is for the purpose
of recognizing true merit in gentle
man whom you all well know; a gen
tleman who has been our public servant
and has performed his duty well; gen
tleman who has been the guardian OF
many public and private trusts, and a
gentleman of whom il cannot be truth
fully said he ever betrayed single one
of them. 1t is therefore eminently
proper that we recognize his unfalter-
ing devotion to duty in this social way.
On the head of this cane read, "J.
Schmachtenberger, from his friends"
In behalf of those friends, Mr.. Schmach-
tenberger, have the honor of present
ing to you this cane as token and test
imonial of their regard, and apprecia-
tion of your upright and answering
character as a native and lifelong citi-
zen of Stark county; and also as mark
of their confidence in the able manner
in which you have discharged the pub
lie duties committed to your care by
your fellow-citizens. In retiring from
your public trust we can bear cheerful
testimony to your honest effort to do
exact justice in all matters referred to
you, in the belief that in the honest ap-
plication of true Democratic princi
Piles is to be found the best government
fer mankind. Take this cane, then,
and when foul detraction secretly aims
to assail your character, you can lean
upon it with the consciousness of the
rectitude of your private as well as your
public conduct. With renewed assur-
ance of the fidelity of your many
friends, and on their behalf, beg you
to accept this token as fraternal Of
fering.

TURKEY THIEF.

Christian Strain, an Ex-Convict of the 0.
p Arrested by Gard and Jacobs.
A turkey thief with his stolen treas
ure was marched up through town last
night by officers Card and Jacobs to the
city lookup. 1t turned out to be Chris
tian Strain, who has lately came from
the Ohio Penitentiary. Strain was
convicted in this court some years ago
for horse stealing, aud sentenced to the
penitentiary for a term of six years.
He served his term and came back to
Canton about two months ago. Officer
Card first saw Strain with the turkeys
in Snyder's saloon on Saxton street
and thinking he had stolen them fol-
lowed him to Kiefer's saloon. There
he met officer Jacobs, who also had his
eye on Strain. He was just in the act
OF slipping out of the back door of
klefer's saloon with the turkeys on his
back when the officers collared him.
When first accosted by the officers MS to
where he had got them, he said he had
raftled for them, but afterwards chang
ed his answer, saying he got them
in the country. The officers pressed
him pretty hard when he admitted that
he had stolen them. lie said ne carried
them about 4 miles ard was very tired
from it. He was searched by the Off
GERS, and package of tobacco and
bottle of whisky were found in his pos
session. After he was put into the cell
he told as nearly as he could where he
got them. He said it was on the Har-
risburg road, about 3]5 or miles from
town, where the house stands ON the
side of the road and the barn on the
other, from which description the Off
GERS made out to be the residence of Mr..
Henry Snyder, in Plain township. The
turkeys are mammoth ones and will
weigh 25 pounds piece. They were
put into the female cell over night and
word will be sent to Mr.. Snyder to see
whether they are his turkeys.

ABOUT TO FIGHT.
Wire Manufacturers to Test the Validity
of the Barb Patent.

Wire Manufacturers to Test the Validity
of the Barb Patent.
JOLIET, ILL, Dec. Especial. /
There is a strong sentiment among the
barb wire manufacturers in st. Louis
and other western cities, against paying
royalty to Washburn & MOen, of Wor-
cester, Mass, while so many unlicensed
firms are allowed to run and pay no
royalty. Judge Treats decision at st.
Louis, about two years ago. was adverse
to the validity of Washburn & Moen
patents, and since that time a great
mOOnshining establishment has sprung
up throughout the district, coming
under the Judges jurisdiction. Wash
burn Il Moen are understood to be
ressing the unlicensed firms in the
higher courts, but the manufacturers
here are growing restless, and one of
the most prominent among them said
today it was the intention to form
pool and contest the validity of the
patent. If the matter eliminates, the
Joliet manufacturers will be joined by
the licensed firms in st Louis and they
will spend the money in law that they
now pay Washburn & Moen as royalty.
1t is further claimed that this move is
a necessity, or the licensed mills will
have to shut down, as they cannot com
pete with those who do not have to pay
royalty.
